Unwinding my fascia with the rg.bell

Working on overcoming my flaccid tendencies is a constant process. After years of trying to mobilize my “tight shoulders” through traditional isolated lat and pec stretching + dead hangs from pull-up bars it rendered my scaps unstable AF (especially my right one as clearly seen here.)

My belief at the time was that stretching was the answer to all mobility issues and would do it to an extreme on a daily basis. This only led to more problems down the road as I would start experiencing random bouts of intermittent pain between my right scapula & spine especially after working out.

These days this is what a shoulder mobility work looks like (along with consistent MFR) Strength and mobility should go hand in hand. It’s taken a decade to overcome the damage I did to myself from stretching and I still have a lot to improve. Thanks to Functional Patterns am completely pain free 🙌

When it comes to building a strong foundation for your body, we need to take a similar approach to building a house. Before you add the walls, windows, doors, etc, it needs to have a symmetrical and balanced foundation to support everything else you build on top of it. Similarly, your body also has a foundation that supports the muscle you build and the way it functions…

Typically our bodies and houses are resilient and have the capacity to last a long time. Although without a proper foundation, you’ll find that wear and tear starts to set in much earlier than it should. Signs of an imbalanced or poor functioning foundation show up as pain or injury in the body, or as wall cracks or structural failures in a house or building…

We take a precise approach when it comes to building a home, but how many of us consider taking the same when it comes to our body? The truth is we don’t. And it’s why you see people’s bodies falling apart everywhere. By learning how to build a balanced foundation, you create stability and strength at the most fundamental level, which enables your joints and muscles to withstand gravity and the stressors of life for longer. 🏡

Repost from :

It’s science. Well executed science. We are thorough. To the complacent who want everything in life to be cheap and easy, it never resonates. Don’t be one of them when you come to us.
